Hugely successful investor I know:

The very best time to buy is when you’re scared out of your mind to buy.

The debate is over.

The work-from-home reality is here.

How things are today is how our society has chosen to work.

Given that, shouldn’t home design change?

Can’t exactly share a room with your spouse who’s on the phone all day.

Thinking you can time:

the real estate market
the stock market
the bond market
interest rates

Fitness equipment stores are struggling big time.

Store closings coming in that sector.

Cab driver scams. There are many. Here’s another one I experienced.

If you think San Francisco is dying, try buying a house there

The most successful people I’ve ever been around have these two things in common:

They know who to bet on, and they can smell BS instantly.

Does anyone listen to podcasts at regular speed?

If you’re looking for good real estate deals, you’re competing for the attention of the brokerage community.

If you’re not known as an all-cash buyer, you’re at the back of the line.

Nobody with a great deal is calling the buyer who needs to line up a loan.
